"Cupid's Chance" Theme of
North Park Presents Augustana Choir
North Park Coeds
in Concert
The Augustana Choir will appear
in full concert at the Lane Techni-cal
High School Auditorium Feb. 12,
at 8:00 p.m. under the auspices of
North Park College. This well-known
acapella choir is upholding
a cherished music tradition started
ninety-six years ago at Augustana
College of Rock Island. Illinois. Al-though
primarily a liberal arts in-stitution,
the Lutheran college has
had a school of music for many
decades and has been a Midwest
center for the presentation of the
world's great oratorios ever since
its founding in 1860. Henry Veld is
the conductor.
The choir's reputation is inter-nationally
known through radio
and television broadcasts, record-ings,
and the annual concert tour
that the group makes each spring
More than eighty network broad-casts
have been made by this dis-tinguished
group of choristers. The
choir's most recent television ap-pearance
was on the Ed Sullivan
Show.
One of the highlights of this se.,
son's concert appearances will be ii,
February when the young singers
are featured in Chicago at the Na-tional
Biennial Convention of the
Music Teachers National Associa-tion,
now in its 81st year. College.
university, conservatory, studio and
school music teachers from all over
the nation will attend this conven-tion
at the Congress hotel, Febru-ary
10-13.
The Jenny Linda is a fitting
name for the women's voices of the
choir, for it was Jenny Lind, the
famous singer known as the Swe-dish
Nightingale, who was among
the first to donate money toward
the founding of Augustana College.
The male voices are known as the
Wennerberg chorus
Each year the choir attracts out-standing
young singers to the col-lege
and competition is very keen
for each choir vacancy that occurs.
Tickets for the concert, which
opens the 1957 Music Festival, will
be issued to students in the next
counseling period.

PAGE TWO NORTH PARK COLLEGE NEWS WEDNESDAY, JANUARY Sti, 1957
EDITORIAL
Expansion Program Analyzed
In Harper's Magazine for July, 1956, !Vol. 213, No.
1274, pp. 63-68) appears an article by Peter F. Drucker
entitled Will the Colleges Blow Their Tops?"
We were surprised to find in it on p. 66) the
following paragraph:
Some of them the small colleges have capacity
both intellectually and physically for tremendous
growth. A good example is North Park College just
outside of Chicago which is affiliated with one of
the smallest Protestant denominations, the Mission
Covenant Church with 500 congregations and 54,000
communicants. North Park started out as a junior
college. Two years ago it converted into a four-year
college. Now it is engaged in raising its size from
500 to 1,300 students. It has had all along many of
the basic facilities —auditorium, library, chapel —
needed for a 1,300-student four-year college; it just
has not utilized them to the full. And while it still
needs $4,000,000 in building funds, the affiliated
congregations — precisely because they are small
and this is their one and only school—have al-ready
pledged well over two million.
The NEWS would have been very happy to print
a paragraph like that last spring— or even now for
that matter. The reason why we have not done so is
that we have been ignorant regarding most of what
it contains.
Far be it from us to quarrel. but we should like to
challenge the statement about our not having utilized
our "many basic facilities" to the full. Which facility,
for instance, have we not utilized?
We confess, however, it is nice to have people look
at us through rose-colored glasses!
Probation-Necessity or Folly?
With examination time at hand, all we naturally
think of is -grades." At such a time a question to ask
is: how important are these "grades"? We realize that
there is definitely more to a college education than
achieving great academic success; however, one of
the most important aspects of college life is the
attitude which we have towards the academic achieve-ment.
Lately we have heard many students joking about
the fact that they are on probation or are nearing
that academic status. What is the joking all about?
As college students who are continually striving to
become well adjusted adults, this attitude seems very
immature. Certainly it must involve an amount of
inferiority covered on the surface by the concept that
all marks below a C are "big jokes." It seems only
logical that those on probation should be more con-cerned
about their marks than the average student.
They are accepted by most colleges on the basis that
they are capable of doing better than their past rec-ord
shows. At this point, one might bring up the prob-lem
of the difference of given intelligence. However,
we are not talking about such students, since the ma-jority
of those on probation at North Park have such
a status simply because of their previous indifference
toward education.
The matter of participation in extra curricular
activities is actually forbade by the college catalog.
Realizing that there are exceptions to every rule, we
are not complaining about the exception of this rule

on our campus, but merely noting
that the extra curricular activities
seem to take prominence over the
academic activity. This fact makes
one wonder what kind of prepara-tion
our college education is giving
us Social maturity, maybe—but
mental maturity, no
The purpose of this editorial is
not to make a public spectacle of
those on probation. However, no
justification is seen for the hu-morous
concept of low grades on
the part of what is becoming a
majority of the students. A feature
of North Park that we are all proud
of is its high academic standards.
It is our responsibility as North
Parkers to uphold these standards
and raise them if we can. The
solution seems possible only if we,
as students, display a mature at-titude
towards those ghastly letters
of the alphabet known as "grades."

Military Service or
A College Career?
By Tony Tedescki
This is the first in a series of
articles to be written concerning
the problem of draft or a college
education.)
The great question that faces
most college men concerns military
service. Formerly the G.I. Educa-tional
bill was an
incentive for all
college minded
young men to
join the armed
services. But in
January of 1955
the educational
benefits were
Tony Tedescki nullified, leaving
military service a question in the
minds of many.
Should one join the service be-
!ore starting college, attend school
a year and then join or take one's
chances on the draft and try to
complete four years of college?
One serious misconception many
students have is that the two years
in the armed services are wasted. I
spent two years in the Marine
Corps and I feel I made a wise
decision.
I spent 14 months at Camp Fuji,
Japan, serving 11 months as a cor-poral
and squad leader in Easy Co.
Second Battalion, Third Marines,
an infantry outfit. During Septem-ber
1955 I entered the Base Boxing
tournament and managed to take
the light heavyweight champion-ship
by winning five straight fights.
I spent the remaining three months
of duty with the Third Marine
Regimental Boxing team.
After returning to the States, I
spent the final months of duty as a
Prison-chaser at Great Lakes.
The armed forces offers an ex-tensive
educational program in-cluding
classroom study, correspon-dence
courses in Psychology I and
History II. I also took a series of
college equivalent tests which gave
me a total of twelve semester
credits.
Serving in the armed forces gives
a young man experience and ma-turity,
making him appreciate fully
the advantages of a college educa-tion.
Finals will be over tomorrow. Then we'll start a
new semester. We'll start from scratch and every-thing's
going to be different—for the better or for
the worse is yet to be seen

What goes up must come down! It was a case of a
disappearing ladder at the Wednesday evening Fel-lowship
service. Crowded pews are an inspiration but
thirty girls claim they reached greater heights by
climbing up to the balcony. At least they faced the
test of faith when they had to tie their scarves to-gether
as a means descending.
• • •
Not only do the girls have trouble when it comes
to parking themselves. President Nelson is in the
same boat when it comes to parking that big Buick.
A longer garage would solve the problem—even a two
foot addition would enable him to close the doors.
Then not only heat would be saved but also the elbcnN

Of course the Dress Down dinner topped the list

may we invite you to come to College Day at the

WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 30, 1957
"Old andN ew'' of South Africa
Presented in Olson Film Lecture
"South Africa is a combination of several cultures, old and new. it
has jungle and beauty, a Cape of Good Hope in the midst of despair." Mrs.
Frances Olson effectively presented the problem of "old and new" in her
film licture "Light On South Afri-ca,"
at the Jan. 22 presentation of
-Tuesday Evenings at North Park."
South Africa was discovered be-fore
America and settled in 1620 by
the Dutch East Settlement com-pany.
Through the centuries the
problems of race and past vs. pres-ent
have persisted. The country is
divided not only by race but also
by language for both English and
Afrikaans, a mixture of French
and Dutch are spoken.
All whites are referred to as Eu-ropeans,
colored people are called
Africans and mixed nationalities
are called "colored."
The English purchased the Cape
in 1849 and slavery was abolished
30 years before the Civil war. It is
divided into four provinces; Natal,
Orange Tree State, Cape of Good
Hope, and Transvaal.
In visiting the national parks in
South Africa, all variations of ani-mals
and plant life are observed.
Lions, giraffes, antelopes, zebras,
snakes and wild boars are shown
in abundance. In one national park
the animals are free and the peo-ple
are caged. Since South Africa is
largely settled, wild life is found
only in parks.
The latter part of the film was
concerned with the natives of the
Union of South Africa. The major-ity
of the natives are on tribal
reservations although some work
on white farms near the cities and
in the cities. The natives are per-haps
South Africa's main problem
for they long to be equal, but they
are very primitive. South Africa
wants to raise its economic level
but the natives and their cheap
labor are an important part of the
industry of the country.
Some natives reach high educa-tional
levels. One doctor who was
graduated from Yale was pictured
but these are a very minute seg-ment
of the eight million natives.
The natives live on reservations
much as they did years ago. The
women do most of the work and
each tribe continues its own tradi-tions.
Gold and diamond mines employ
many natives and some venture off
to the cities on their own. The
South African cities have quite a
problem as the natives build shacks
and slums develop. Some cities have
redeveloped these areas, but they
create a problem in most munici-palities.
Mrs. Olson concluded by stating
that when the race problem is solv-ed,
there will truly be a union of
South Africa.

Blustering winds and blistering
flames joined forces at Lake Gene-va,

of Covenant Harbor was destroyed
by fire. The 76-year-old, three-story
building had been owned since 1917
by the Central Conference of the
Covenant Church of America. It
was built in 1881 by the late George
Sturges, Chicago businessman. Ad -

North Park's Dennis Jones
Possible Presley Successor
years ago. He has never studied
with a professional teacher, but
has received pointers from a friend.
While Dennis sings mainly for his
own pleasure, he admitted that he
likes to perform for audiences here
at North Park. Indeed he seems
very much at ease on the stage,
something one wouldn't necessarily
expect from this soft-spoken, rath-er
shy young man.
When asked his opinion of Elvis
Presley, his nationally known coun-terpart,
Dennis replied that Elvis
was a -good singer," but inferred
not slightly that he was a "lousy
actor." To prevent misunderstand-ing
about his haircut, Dennis said,
"I had my sideburns before Elvis
. I was ever popular."
Dennis is planning on returning
to North Park next fall, but has
no other definite plans for the
future. Who knows, perhaps North
Park will give the needed boost to
Dennis Jones, a possible Elvis suc-cessor?

North Park's annual dress-down
dinner was carried off with a max-imum
amount of hilarity Thursday
evening, January 24, the day before
finals. The participants appeared
in dress ranging from hula skirts,
long johns, Roman rogas, hobo tat-ters,
and gunny sacks. It could be
that each one's apparel revealed
his own suppressed character de-sires.
Dinner was served in traditional
hobo fashion—no silverware, paper
plates, steaming mugs of hot soup,
and all around simple fare. A few
people really got rambunctious and
began practicing sailing maneuvers
with the paper plates and chicken
bones.

Editorial
EDITOR ANGERED:
CHAPEL ATTITUDE
It is seldom, if ever, that the
faculty of our school is commended
for their actions concerning school
policy decisions. It is therefore with
pride and pleasure that we of the
NEWS staff gladly praise the fac-ulty
decisions of making the sen-iors
sit in the front of the chapel.
It does not seem on the surface to
be a decision of major importance,
but when analyzed it becomes one
of great significance.
Of all the classes supposed to
have maturity and self-control the
seniors seem to posses these attri-butes
least. It is evidenced by their
attitude at pep rallys as well as
their chapels. The seniors continu-ally
gripe about the lack of priv-ileges
and faculty attitudes. toward
them. This alone would warrant
the so-called attitudes displayed.
But let us not forget the juniors
and sophomores.
The juniors and sophomores also
also could trim up their manners
and lackadazical attitude which
they have shown unfortunately in
the past. They too have been very
guilty of the charges and state-ments
made above.
It seems as though the more the
chaplain spoke to us and our coun-selers
preached about it the more
the student body became discour-teous
and inane.
There are individuals that will
cry that we weren't that bad and
he is just exaggerating the issue at
hand. That is far from any good
reasoning power or truth as it can
get. The day that we as a student
body get to the stage of life that
we are losing our sense of right
and decent courtesy and even re-spect
of our own Savior we are not
worthy of the name of teen-ager,
student, North Parker, or Chris-tian.
The time is past that we may be
asked to please act decent, the
time is past that we are pleaded
with to be quiet and respectful. It
has come to that point that it is all
over for you and me to laugh at
the issue, cry, or become angry, for
you see my loyal reader, the fac-ulty
in one gracious and sensible
move has done the job no form of
decent plea could do. This is not
only a great blast to our pride and
feeling, but is a direct statement

Santa really was generous this
year, as far as sweaters go, anyway.
Some neat ones have been seen
around campus lately. La Dona has
a beautiful periwinkle blue one;
Mummy came back with a pretty
rose-colored one, Adele has a mint
green one; and Bonnie has a neat
heavy white one. Cashmeres, of
course!
Bulky white sweaters are the
newest style. Many girls are wear-ing
them; among them are Penny
Tune, Cass, Arpie, Karen Jensen,
and Marlene White.
Another type of sweater which
has made its debut on girls as
well as boys, is the popular crew-neck.
T. A., Joanne Beran, Ellen
Greengard, Penny Peiser, Dave and
Nancy, Dick Alexander, and Ann
Johnson really dig them the most.
Sharon Carlson has a new bright
green sweater and skirt which Is
very much appreciated by a certain
member of the opposite sex. Gwynn
Nelson's fioco skirt is just about as
Ivy League as you can possibly get.
Those green stripes in it really hit
the fashion world with a bang!
Right now everything is Ivy League:
skirts, sweaters, bermudas, shirts,
slacks, hats and even pajamas!
Before long we'll be seeing kids
wearing Ivy League shoe-buckles!
They are to be had at a few stores,
but no one has as yet had enough
nerve to get a pair.
Just recently some North Park
gals went masculine by wearing
slacks to school. They had a good
excuse though—the weather was a
little, shall we say, "cool?" Some
of the first noticed were on Sandy
Burdahl, Barb Eskuchen, Mary
Ann Knoedler, and Judy Sheldon.

only one day's absence, or less,
with no unexcused tardiness; thirty
students have only one unexcused
tardiness and seventeen have two

PAGE SIX NORTH PARK COLLEGE NEWS WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1957
In recent months North Park has
successfully completed many proj-ects.
In athletics, the new field is
nearing completion and will be
ready in a year or so. But there
was also talk of a new gymnasium.
What is happening concerning this?
In a letter that the Alumni Asso-ciation
has recently sent out, a plea
for a new gym is heavily stressed.
Written by "Bibs" Anderson, Ath-letic
Director, it expresses fully the
sentiment of all of us.
Parts of the letter are as follows.
You alumna have had the unique
distinction of watching your home
basketball games away from 'home.'
On cold, snowy, wintry nights the
fans have to leave the campus to
see a basketball game. The players
never get a chance to practice on
this floor, making every game away
from home, which according to the
experts is an eight point disadvan-tage.
Also, the schedule has to be
at the convenience of the school
from which we are renting, not at
our most advantageous time."
"I think we can be justly proud
of our basketball teams after you
stop to think of the difficulty un-der
which they practice. After
school, hours of the gym must be
shared by three basketball teams,
intramurals, and girls activities,
When they do get to practice it is
done on a floor that is only sixty
feet long, as compared to the regu-lation
floor of 84 or 94 feet long.
The only reason that we can have
such a tournament as volleyball is
because the gym is not needed for
varsity practice. But this type of
participation should be made avail-able
to the entire student body the
whole school year."
With such a strong argument for
a new gym it is obvious there will
be one. The most Important factor
is the raising of necessary funds.
We North Parkers look forward to
the day when, as alumna we can
watch a game at "home."

it is by his voice.
Wes does other things success-fully

jump shot.
This will be Wes's fourth year of

at forward.
Participating also in frosh-soph
football, Wes has been playing
center and halfback. It can be
proved that "No. 5" is valuable to
the team as he always scores
around twenty points and his free-throw
accuracy is 61':, second best
on the squad.

Vikings Jump
To Quick Lead
In Victory
Victory! Victory! That's our cry!
This favorite yell of the cheerlead-ers
finally had its fulfilling when
the Vikings found the winning trail
after a losing famine of seven
defeats in eluding three conference
games.
The vikings jumped to a quick
advantage and led 35-26 at the
half. But Harvard came storming
back to take the lead by the end
of the 3rd quarter 50-49. The last
period was so even that at the end
of regulation time the game was
tied 60-60. A three minute overtime
was then played in which the Vik-ings
were able to get 8 while Har-vard
only got 4. Chris Norborg hit
7 of the 8 points. The completed
count was 68-64.
Three of the boys scored in
double figures. Wes Johnson got 26,
C. Norborg 23, and Stan Moe con-nected
for 13. The victory was
mainly due to North Park's de-fensive
all-court press which be-fuddled
the Harvard boys. Paul
Flaherty and Wayne Palm played
their first came after a brief ab-sence

Basket Void
The talents engaged by the Acad-emy

matched those of Wheaton on Jan.

and Gold. Loren Anderson pumped
in 14 points matching Wheaton's
high man and he would have had
16 points had the game ended a
second later. His shot was in the
air when the final horn blew and
as it swished through the hoop it
appeared the score had been tied
22 to 22. The referee said it didn't
count and the Vikings lost by two
points. Earlier Art Schuller had
twisted his ankle badly and was
excused from the game.
Frogs in Lead
As water polo continues to domi-nate
the Intramural winter scene,
competition seems to be increasing.
In last week's games the Frogs
under the captainship of Jack
Lundbom, trounced the Postscripts
and the Rockets 6-1, and 5-2, re-spectively.
In the game against the
Rockets John Hussey was high
scorer with a three point total.
Dennis Houlberg and his fellow
Postscripts drowned the Barnacles
4-1 and then were defeated by the
Helldivers in a close 2-1 game.

Erickson, who is also a graduate
of the University of Colorado, has
now taken over the duties of Acad-emy

at Roosevelt University, Chicago,
during the 1955-1956 school year
and came to North Park last Sep-tember.
He teaches Problems of

Erickson, who is very popular not
only with the teams but with the
students in general, was a star
performer with the North Park
squad during his student days here
on this campus.
Victorious Again!
With Chris Norborg scoring 22
points for high scorer in the Pri-vate
School League on the night
of Jan. 18, the Vikings racked up a
second league win in a row as they
defeated their old arch-rivals,
Wheaton.
At times in the first half the
Blue and Gold was losing by 8 and
9 points, but managed to pull with-in
one point at intermission. At
the opening of the second half the
inspired North Park squad rallied
for 8 consecutive tallies before the
Wheatonites could score
Wes Johnson hit for 18 points
and never drew a foul. P Flaherty
and S. Moe showed ability as they
collected 10 points apiece. Free
throw accuracy for the team was
high as is evidenced by the .750
percentage.

I hope that you notice that the

put their trust in him." Will you?

Commission on Pastoral Training
Meets to Consider Applicants
The Covenant Commission on
Ministerial Training will meet for
the first of its two regular meet-ings
of 1957 on February 5. The
second meeting will be held here
on campus early in September.
In consideration of the sacred
significance of the ministerial call-ing
and the care needed in the
Dean Eric Hawkinson
selecting of candidates for the min-istry,
this commission, known as
the Covenant Commission on Min-isterial
Training, meets to examine
applicants for admission to North
Park Seminary.
Each applicant appears before
the Commission and gives a per-sonal
statement including autobi-ography,
spiritual experience, sense
of God's call, and personal motiva-tions
for entering the ministry. At
this time the members of the Com-mission
may ask questions of the
applicant.
Favorable action by the Commis-sion
concerning an applicant con-stitutes
a recommendation to the
Board of Education for admission
to North Park Seminary Unfavor-able
action means that the appli-cant
cannot be admitted as a
trainee for the ministry.
After action by the Commission,
the approved applicants are pre-sented
at a Seminary Convocation
with the members of the COITU1115-
sion, the Board of Education, and
the Seminary faculty in attend-ance.
This service of admission is
held on the first Sunday of the
new school year.
In addition to this function, the
Commission's duties also include
an oral examination of each candi-date
for graduation from the Sem-inary.
The Commission examines
the candidates with respect to
spiritual fitness and general quali-fications
for the Christian ministry.
Although the Seminary faculty re-tains
jurisdiction concerning aca-demic
graduation, the decisions of
the Commission shall determine
fitness for the Covenant ministry,
and therefore are recommended to
the Ministerial Board.
Members of the Commission are:
Theodore W. Anderson, President
of the Covenant; Clarence A. Nel-son,
President of North Park Col-lege
and Theological Seminary;
Eric G. Hawkinson, Dean of the
Theological Seminary; Joseph C.
Danielson, Secretary of Home Mis-sions;
Ralph P. Hanson. Secretary
of Foreign Missions.

Bethany Defeats
Sem Team 60-56
The Viking seminarians bowed in
defeat to a strong Bethany team
by a scant four poirns. The game
was tight all the way, and Bethany
had a struggle to gain the victory.
At the half the score was knotted
at 37-37. With 25 seconds left in
the game, Bethany leading 58-56, a
Viking tieing shot was missed and
two free throws for Bethany put
the game on ice 60-56. Jon Braun
was the leading scorer for North
Park with 21 points. The Vikings
were hampered by the loss of three
starting players who were unable
to play. The team, however, is be-ginning
to show signs of finding
itself, and should be breaking into
the win column very soon.

Vikings Down Rockford — Win Seven
On December 14, 1956, the North
Park Varsity basketball team had
Just lost their fourth game of the
season to a rough quintet from
Wright At the time they had won
only three games. Today January
250, just 42 days later, their record
stands at 10 wins as compared to
only 4 defeats They have won
seven in a row and have improved
their record from 3-4 to what it
now stands.
Tonight, the Vikings featured
another balanced scoring attack in
which five players scored in the
double figures They withstood a
last half rally from a very fine
Rockford team on the Roosevelt
High 8411001 floor, to come out on
top 86-80. Ted Molen and Dave
Norling turned in outstanding per-formances
as Molen cashed in on
18 free throws out of 19 attempts,
and this coupled with three baskets
gave him a total of 24 points. Nor-ling
turned in his usual sterling
performance as he hit six baskets
and four free throws for 16 points,
and played very superbly on de-fense
Rog Johnson threw in 13,

off 16 rebounds for a very fine
performance before fouling out in
the fourth quarter.
Phil Johnson bombed in seven
points in the initial period to lead
the Vikings to a 24-11 lead. Phil
rebounded well in the first half, as
he got 10. Molen took over from
there on in, hitting eight points
in the second quarter, and missing
his lone free throw in this stanza.
The score stood at coke-time 46-32,
and it looked as though the blue
and gold were going to pull away.
However they were outscored in
the final half 48-40, and Rockford
Navy Falls to North Park 80-53
Norling and Johnson Outstanding
The victim of North Park's sixth
victory in a row and their ninth
win against four defeats was, for
the second time in six days, the
Great Lakes Naval Hospital. In this
game, played in the Hospital's own
ward a week ago Tuesday, the Vik-ings
were in complete command
throughout the encounter as they
took a quick 14-2 lead and from
there on pulled away to an 80-53
win.
Phil Johnson paced all blue and
gold scoring with 19 points via
eight field goals and a trio of free
throws. llowever, Chuck Farley,
the human pogo stick, rang up 23
points for the good old Navy,
bringing his total against North
Park in two games to 56 points.
Roger Johnson put on a fine shoot-ing
exhibition, as he combined
five net-nestlers and five free
heaves for 15 markers. Ted Molen
played a fine floor game as well as
contributing 10 points to the cause.
Al Dewier came in in the final
quarter and banged in 10 points
to pace a 26 point fourth quarter
for the Vikings. Don Wicklund and
Bob Blomgren also blooped in
eight apiece. Also a big hunk of
credit goes to Dave Norling who
turned in a defensive gem by hold-ing
Farley down to 10 points
through the first three quarters
Phil Johnson hit 17 points in the
initial half, and Ted Molen and
Roger Johnson added 10 and 8
apiece to pace the Vikings to their
38-21 halftime lead. Al Depner
paced second half scorers with 10
points, Bob Blomgren flipped in
eight, and Rog Johnson connected
for seven, as the blue and gold out-put
on a late game surge which
saw them pull to within four points
of their eventual conquerers. Molen
hit 10 free throws in this half, and
14 points altogether to pace the
Vikings. Dave Norling set up bas-ket
after basket with his ball-han-dling
finesse and passing ability.
Vikings Win 10 of Last 12.;
Important Games in Future
The North Park basketball team,
now with ten victories in fourteen
starts, are picking up more steam
with each game. After dropping
their two games of the season, the
Vikings started a win skein which
has seen them winning ten of
their last twelve games. They are
currently riding the crest of a seven
game winning streak. Coming up
in the near future are games which
will have much bearing on the con-ference
standings for this year.
Coach Ted Hedstrand's boys are
currently running in fourth posi-tion
in the conference with a 2-2
record
Wilson will be the next opponent
of the blue and gold this coming
Friday at the Roosevelt gym, in
what should be the finest game of
the year. Wilson has won five of
six conference games and will un-doubtedly
be hard to stop. North
Park opened the season against
Wilson in a game which saw Wilson
come out on top 81-71. Carl May
paced Wilson's attack with 25
points, and three other members
scored high in the double figures.
Gerry Fross led North Park with
19 markers.
On February the fourth, also at
Roosevelt, the Vikings will tangle
with the Chicago Teachers. In their
last meeting, North Park emerged
victorious, by a score of 63-37. Phil
Johnson led North Park with 22
points, while Bob Levin paced the
professors with 18 tallies.
Joliet will be faced for the first
time this year on the seventh of
February. This is a conference game
which will be played on Joliet's
home court. Joliet has one of their
best teams in many years, but so
does North Park, and we look for
the Vikings to win.
Four days after the Joliet game
will be another conference game
with Morton. North Park beat Mor-ton
in their first outing in a very
exciting overtime victory 65-64. Phil
Johnson took scoring honors for
the Vikings with 19 points, while
Mike Fenelon led Morton with 18.
Morton is undefeated in conference
play, and North Park is one of the
few teams to have beaten Morton
this year.
Some fine basketball is being

scored their opponents 42-32 to
win going away. North Park, in
their last five games, have out-scored
their foes by more than 20
points per game.

North Park Whips Crane
88-68; Wicklund Stars
North Park, In winning their
fourth game in a row, downed a
supposedly rough Crane Junior
College team with a resounding 88-
68 thumping on Crane's own floor
on the sixteenth day of this month.
It was the Vikings' game all the
way, as they played heads up of-fense
and alert defense as they
won going away. Balanced scoring
paid off for the blue and gold, as
five players hit in the double fig-ures.
Don Wickland, 6'5" center,
led the way as he connected five
times from the field and then hit
eight free throws in eight attempts
for a total of 18 points. Phil John-son
also canned 18, as he hit seven
twine ticklers and a quartet of un-molested
heaves. Rog Johnson fol-lowed
with 14 points, and Dave
Norling and Ted Molen canned
10 apiece.
Phil Johnson and Don Wicklund
bombed in six points apiece in a
tight first quarter North Park held
a 12-3 lead at one time in this
stanza, but Crane splurged to knot
the score at 18-18 at the whistle.
Wickland put on a scoring show in
the second frame, as he tallied 10
markers to lead his group of in-spired
northmen to a 41-32 inter-mission
lead. Rog Johnson added
six points to the cause.
The second half saw North Park
outscore the home-team 47-36 to
win going away. Ted Molen and
Rog Johnson hit eight apiece to
lead the scoring in this half. Phil
Johnson contributed seven, and
Jerry Fross added six. Every player
to see action for Coach Ted Hed-strand,
figured in the box score.
High point honors went to a Mr.
Jones of Crane as he tallied 22
points.

Blue and Gold Trip
Great Lakes 79-64
North Park took its fifth win in a
row and its eighth victory against
four defeats, as they hung a 79-64
defeat around the necks of the
Great Lakes Naval Hospital, one
week ago Thursday on the the
Vikings' own field house floor.
Again it was balanced scoring
that paid off in victory for the
blue and gold. Only three players
scored in the double figures, but
all three of them hit twenty points
or better. Phil Johnson again took
scoring honors as he connected
eight times from the field and five
from the line for a total of twenty-one
points. Dave Norling put on an
exhibition of free throw shooting
as he canned 14 of them in 18 at-tempts.
He also added three cord-ripplers
for his twenty points. Also
figuring in the twenty point brack-et
was Don Wickland who hit his
twenty on seven buckets and six
gratis heaves. High point man in
the game was a kangaroo by the
name of Farley who hit 33 points
for Great Lakes, and literally threw
in everything but the kitchen sink.
North Park was in command
throughout the game, but at half-time
with the score standing at
39-35 in favor of the Vikings, the
outcome was a little undecided.
However the blue and gold out-scored
their opponents 40-29 in the
final spine-tingling half to win go-ing
away. Don Wicklund led the
Vikings throughout the initial half,
as he squished in 14 points. Norling
hit seven in this half, but went on
to lead second half scoring with 12
points. Phil Johnson followed Nor-ling
with eight in this stanza.

"Cupid's Chance" Theme of
North Park Presents Augustana Choir
North Park Coeds
in Concert
The Augustana Choir will appear
in full concert at the Lane Techni-cal
High School Auditorium Feb. 12,
at 8:00 p.m. under the auspices of
North Park College. This well-known
acapella choir is upholding
a cherished music tradition started
ninety-six years ago at Augustana
College of Rock Island. Illinois. Al-though
primarily a liberal arts in-stitution,
the Lutheran college has
had a school of music for many
decades and has been a Midwest
center for the presentation of the
world's great oratorios ever since
its founding in 1860. Henry Veld is
the conductor.
The choir's reputation is inter-nationally
known through radio
and television broadcasts, record-ings,
and the annual concert tour
that the group makes each spring
More than eighty network broad-casts
have been made by this dis-tinguished
group of choristers. The
choir's most recent television ap-pearance
was on the Ed Sullivan
Show.
One of the highlights of this se.,
son's concert appearances will be ii,
February when the young singers
are featured in Chicago at the Na-tional
Biennial Convention of the
Music Teachers National Associa-tion,
now in its 81st year. College.
university, conservatory, studio and
school music teachers from all over
the nation will attend this conven-tion
at the Congress hotel, Febru-ary
10-13.
The Jenny Linda is a fitting
name for the women's voices of the
choir, for it was Jenny Lind, the
famous singer known as the Swe-dish
Nightingale, who was among
the first to donate money toward
the founding of Augustana College.
The male voices are known as the
Wennerberg chorus
Each year the choir attracts out-standing
young singers to the col-lege
and competition is very keen
for each choir vacancy that occurs.
Tickets for the concert, which
opens the 1957 Music Festival, will
be issued to students in the next
counseling period.

PAGE TWO NORTH PARK COLLEGE NEWS WEDNESDAY, JANUARY Sti, 1957
EDITORIAL
Expansion Program Analyzed
In Harper's Magazine for July, 1956, !Vol. 213, No.
1274, pp. 63-68) appears an article by Peter F. Drucker
entitled Will the Colleges Blow Their Tops?"
We were surprised to find in it on p. 66) the
following paragraph:
Some of them the small colleges have capacity
both intellectually and physically for tremendous
growth. A good example is North Park College just
outside of Chicago which is affiliated with one of
the smallest Protestant denominations, the Mission
Covenant Church with 500 congregations and 54,000
communicants. North Park started out as a junior
college. Two years ago it converted into a four-year
college. Now it is engaged in raising its size from
500 to 1,300 students. It has had all along many of
the basic facilities —auditorium, library, chapel —
needed for a 1,300-student four-year college; it just
has not utilized them to the full. And while it still
needs $4,000,000 in building funds, the affiliated
congregations — precisely because they are small
and this is their one and only school—have al-ready
pledged well over two million.
The NEWS would have been very happy to print
a paragraph like that last spring— or even now for
that matter. The reason why we have not done so is
that we have been ignorant regarding most of what
it contains.
Far be it from us to quarrel. but we should like to
challenge the statement about our not having utilized
our "many basic facilities" to the full. Which facility,
for instance, have we not utilized?
We confess, however, it is nice to have people look
at us through rose-colored glasses!
Probation-Necessity or Folly?
With examination time at hand, all we naturally
think of is -grades." At such a time a question to ask
is: how important are these "grades"? We realize that
there is definitely more to a college education than
achieving great academic success; however, one of
the most important aspects of college life is the
attitude which we have towards the academic achieve-ment.
Lately we have heard many students joking about
the fact that they are on probation or are nearing
that academic status. What is the joking all about?
As college students who are continually striving to
become well adjusted adults, this attitude seems very
immature. Certainly it must involve an amount of
inferiority covered on the surface by the concept that
all marks below a C are "big jokes." It seems only
logical that those on probation should be more con-cerned
about their marks than the average student.
They are accepted by most colleges on the basis that
they are capable of doing better than their past rec-ord
shows. At this point, one might bring up the prob-lem
of the difference of given intelligence. However,
we are not talking about such students, since the ma-jority
of those on probation at North Park have such
a status simply because of their previous indifference
toward education.
The matter of participation in extra curricular
activities is actually forbade by the college catalog.
Realizing that there are exceptions to every rule, we
are not complaining about the exception of this rule

on our campus, but merely noting
that the extra curricular activities
seem to take prominence over the
academic activity. This fact makes
one wonder what kind of prepara-tion
our college education is giving
us Social maturity, maybe—but
mental maturity, no
The purpose of this editorial is
not to make a public spectacle of
those on probation. However, no
justification is seen for the hu-morous
concept of low grades on
the part of what is becoming a
majority of the students. A feature
of North Park that we are all proud
of is its high academic standards.
It is our responsibility as North
Parkers to uphold these standards
and raise them if we can. The
solution seems possible only if we,
as students, display a mature at-titude
towards those ghastly letters
of the alphabet known as "grades."

Military Service or
A College Career?
By Tony Tedescki
This is the first in a series of
articles to be written concerning
the problem of draft or a college
education.)
The great question that faces
most college men concerns military
service. Formerly the G.I. Educa-tional
bill was an
incentive for all
college minded
young men to
join the armed
services. But in
January of 1955
the educational
benefits were
Tony Tedescki nullified, leaving
military service a question in the
minds of many.
Should one join the service be-
!ore starting college, attend school
a year and then join or take one's
chances on the draft and try to
complete four years of college?
One serious misconception many
students have is that the two years
in the armed services are wasted. I
spent two years in the Marine
Corps and I feel I made a wise
decision.
I spent 14 months at Camp Fuji,
Japan, serving 11 months as a cor-poral
and squad leader in Easy Co.
Second Battalion, Third Marines,
an infantry outfit. During Septem-ber
1955 I entered the Base Boxing
tournament and managed to take
the light heavyweight champion-ship
by winning five straight fights.
I spent the remaining three months
of duty with the Third Marine
Regimental Boxing team.
After returning to the States, I
spent the final months of duty as a
Prison-chaser at Great Lakes.
The armed forces offers an ex-tensive
educational program in-cluding
classroom study, correspon-dence
courses in Psychology I and
History II. I also took a series of
college equivalent tests which gave
me a total of twelve semester
credits.
Serving in the armed forces gives
a young man experience and ma-turity,
making him appreciate fully
the advantages of a college educa-tion.
Finals will be over tomorrow. Then we'll start a
new semester. We'll start from scratch and every-thing's
going to be different—for the better or for
the worse is yet to be seen

What goes up must come down! It was a case of a
disappearing ladder at the Wednesday evening Fel-lowship
service. Crowded pews are an inspiration but
thirty girls claim they reached greater heights by
climbing up to the balcony. At least they faced the
test of faith when they had to tie their scarves to-gether
as a means descending.

Not only do the girls have trouble when it comes
to parking themselves. President Nelson is in the
same boat when it comes to parking that big Buick.
A longer garage would solve the problem—even a two
foot addition would enable him to close the doors.
Then not only heat would be saved but also the elbcnN

WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 30, 1957
"Old andN ew'' of South Africa
Presented in Olson Film Lecture
"South Africa is a combination of several cultures, old and new. it
has jungle and beauty, a Cape of Good Hope in the midst of despair." Mrs.
Frances Olson effectively presented the problem of "old and new" in her
film licture "Light On South Afri-ca,"
at the Jan. 22 presentation of
-Tuesday Evenings at North Park."
South Africa was discovered be-fore
America and settled in 1620 by
the Dutch East Settlement com-pany.
Through the centuries the
problems of race and past vs. pres-ent
have persisted. The country is
divided not only by race but also
by language for both English and
Afrikaans, a mixture of French
and Dutch are spoken.
All whites are referred to as Eu-ropeans,
colored people are called
Africans and mixed nationalities
are called "colored."
The English purchased the Cape
in 1849 and slavery was abolished
30 years before the Civil war. It is
divided into four provinces; Natal,
Orange Tree State, Cape of Good
Hope, and Transvaal.
In visiting the national parks in
South Africa, all variations of ani-mals
and plant life are observed.
Lions, giraffes, antelopes, zebras,
snakes and wild boars are shown
in abundance. In one national park
the animals are free and the peo-ple
are caged. Since South Africa is
largely settled, wild life is found
only in parks.
The latter part of the film was
concerned with the natives of the
Union of South Africa. The major-ity
of the natives are on tribal
reservations although some work
on white farms near the cities and
in the cities. The natives are per-haps
South Africa's main problem
for they long to be equal, but they
are very primitive. South Africa
wants to raise its economic level
but the natives and their cheap
labor are an important part of the
industry of the country.
Some natives reach high educa-tional
levels. One doctor who was
graduated from Yale was pictured
but these are a very minute seg-ment
of the eight million natives.
The natives live on reservations
much as they did years ago. The
women do most of the work and
each tribe continues its own tradi-tions.
Gold and diamond mines employ
many natives and some venture off
to the cities on their own. The
South African cities have quite a
problem as the natives build shacks
and slums develop. Some cities have
redeveloped these areas, but they
create a problem in most munici-palities.
Mrs. Olson concluded by stating
that when the race problem is solv-ed,
there will truly be a union of
South Africa.

Covenant Harbor Fire Destroys Residence
EARLY MORNING FIRE ON JANUARY 17 REDUCED HISTORIC HOUSE TO SMOULDERING RUINS
Blustering winds and blistering
flames joined forces at Lake Gene-va,
Wis., when the 30-room mansion
of Covenant Harbor was destroyed
by fire. The 76-year-old, three-story
building had been owned since 1917
by the Central Conference of the
Covenant Church of America. It
was built in 1881 by the late George
Sturges, Chicago businessman. Ad -
lai E. Stevenson spent summer va-cations
in this mansion during the
1920's according to an item about
the fire in the Sun-Times. (Photo

North Park's Dennis Jones
Possible Presley Successor
years ago. He has never studied
with a professional teacher, but
has received pointers from a friend.
While Dennis sings mainly for his
own pleasure, he admitted that he
likes to perform for audiences here
at North Park. Indeed he seems
very much at ease on the stage,
something one wouldn't necessarily
expect from this soft-spoken, rath-er
shy young man.
When asked his opinion of Elvis
Presley, his nationally known coun-terpart,
Dennis replied that Elvis
was a -good singer," but inferred
not slightly that he was a "lousy
actor." To prevent misunderstand-ing
about his haircut, Dennis said,
"I had my sideburns before Elvis
. I was ever popular."
Dennis is planning on returning
to North Park next fall, but has
no other definite plans for the
future. Who knows, perhaps North
Park will give the needed boost to
Dennis Jones, a possible Elvis suc-cessor?

North Park's annual dress-down
dinner was carried off with a max-imum
amount of hilarity Thursday
evening, January 24, the day before
finals. The participants appeared
in dress ranging from hula skirts,
long johns, Roman rogas, hobo tat-ters,
and gunny sacks. It could be
that each one's apparel revealed
his own suppressed character de-sires.
Dinner was served in traditional
hobo fashion—no silverware, paper
plates, steaming mugs of hot soup,
and all around simple fare. A few
people really got rambunctious and
began practicing sailing maneuvers
with the paper plates and chicken
bones.
After the dinnertime antics had
subsided, a few of North Park's
more gifted students dramatized a
kindergarten talent show, directed
by Mistress of Ceremonies. Joyce

Editorial
EDITOR ANGERED:
CHAPEL ATTITUDE
It is seldom, if ever, that the
faculty of our school is commended
for their actions concerning school
policy decisions. It is therefore with
pride and pleasure that we of the
NEWS staff gladly praise the fac-ulty
decisions of making the sen-iors
sit in the front of the chapel.
It does not seem on the surface to
be a decision of major importance,
but when analyzed it becomes one
of great significance.
Of all the classes supposed to
have maturity and self-control the
seniors seem to posses these attri-butes
least. It is evidenced by their
attitude at pep rallys as well as
their chapels. The seniors continu-ally
gripe about the lack of priv-ileges
and faculty attitudes. toward
them. This alone would warrant
the so-called attitudes displayed.
But let us not forget the juniors
and sophomores.
The juniors and sophomores also
also could trim up their manners
and lackadazical attitude which
they have shown unfortunately in
the past. They too have been very
guilty of the charges and state-ments
made above.
It seems as though the more the
chaplain spoke to us and our coun-selers
preached about it the more
the student body became discour-teous
and inane.
There are individuals that will
cry that we weren't that bad and
he is just exaggerating the issue at
hand. That is far from any good
reasoning power or truth as it can
get. The day that we as a student
body get to the stage of life that
we are losing our sense of right
and decent courtesy and even re-spect
of our own Savior we are not
worthy of the name of teen-ager,
student, North Parker, or Chris-tian.
The time is past that we may be
asked to please act decent, the
time is past that we are pleaded
with to be quiet and respectful. It
has come to that point that it is all
over for you and me to laugh at
the issue, cry, or become angry, for
you see my loyal reader, the fac-ulty
in one gracious and sensible
move has done the job no form of
decent plea could do. This is not
only a great blast to our pride and
feeling, but is a direct statement

Santa really was generous this
year, as far as sweaters go, anyway.
Some neat ones have been seen
around campus lately. La Dona has
a beautiful periwinkle blue one;
Mummy came back with a pretty
rose-colored one, Adele has a mint
green one; and Bonnie has a neat
heavy white one. Cashmeres, of
course!
Bulky white sweaters are the
newest style. Many girls are wear-ing
them; among them are Penny
Tune, Cass, Arpie, Karen Jensen,
and Marlene White.
Another type of sweater which
has made its debut on girls as
well as boys, is the popular crew-neck.
T. A., Joanne Beran, Ellen
Greengard, Penny Peiser, Dave and
Nancy, Dick Alexander, and Ann
Johnson really dig them the most.
Sharon Carlson has a new bright
green sweater and skirt which Is

member of the opposite sex. Gwynn

Ivy League as you can possibly get.
Those green stripes in it really hit
the fashion world with a bang!
Right now everything is Ivy League:
skirts, sweaters, bermudas, shirts,
slacks, hats and even pajamas!
Before long we'll be seeing kids
wearing Ivy League shoe-buckles!
They are to be had at a few stores,
but no one has as yet had enough
nerve to get a pair.
Just recently some North Park
gals went masculine by wearing
slacks to school. They had a good
excuse though—the weather was a
little, shall we say, "cool?" Some
of the first noticed were on Sandy
Burdahl, Barb Eskuchen, Mary
Ann Knoedler, and Judy Sheldon.

Augustana Concert
The Augustana Choir will be
singing in Chicago under the aus-pices
of North Park a week from
Tuesday. The performance is to be
held at Lane Technical High School
on Feb. 12., 8 p.m. The National
Honor Society under the supervi-sion
of Ed Kimbrell will be in
charge of ushering. Tickets at $1.00
each, can be gotten at the business
office of North Park College. Every-one
is invited to attend and enjoy
an evening of music at its best.
Cliff Anderson, president of the
Club, reports that 32 members are
going and that a program of sled-ding,
tobogganning, games, and in-spirational
worship services have
been planned.
ED. NOTE: Unfortunately because
of the fire at Covenant Harbor's
main house this fine retreat, al-though
well planned, was perma-nently
postponed until time and
facilities are once again available.

A report from the attendance of-fice
indicates that a good number
of the students attending N.P.A.
have kept a good record of being
habitually on time. Forty-five have
perfect attendance with no unex-cused
tardiness; twenty-six have
only one day's absence, or less,
with no unexcused tardiness; thirty
students have only one unexcused
tardiness and seventeen have two
unexcused tardiness. Promptness is
important! Both in business life
and in pleasure, one must be on
time, to be effective in life. It is a
credit both to one's own character
and effectiveness in life to be a
prompt individual in all phases of
your dealings. We of the NEWS

Tri-Hi-Y Serves
Us: Beauty-Wise
It was a cold Thursday morning
and school wasn't scheduled to
start until 9:30. Never - the - less,
some fifty Academy girls turned
out for a "fashion wise" program
sponsored by the Tri-Hi-Y at 8:30
a.m.
Mrs. Cunningham, a charming
and well groomed representative
from Patricia Stevens, lectured to
the girls on such important sub-jects
as posture, make up. hair
styling and clothing. We hope her
comments will be heeded and prac-ticed.
Father of Junior
Dies at New Years
Kathy Childs and her family
were bereaved New Year's Day by
the death of her father. We know
that in this time of grief, words
cannot be of much help. However,
we do want to express our sympathy
for the Childs family. Mr. Childs,
an I.B.M. executive, died of a heart
attack on the afternoon of January

PAGE SIX NORTH PARK COLLEGE NEWS WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1957
In recent months North Park has
successfully completed many proj-ects.
In athletics, the new field is
nearing completion and will be
ready in a year or so. But there
was also talk of a new gymnasium.
What is happening concerning this?
In a letter that the Alumni Asso-ciation
has recently sent out, a plea
for a new gym is heavily stressed.
Written by "Bibs" Anderson, Ath-letic
Director, it expresses fully the
sentiment of all of us.
Parts of the letter are as follows.
You alumna have had the unique
distinction of watching your home
basketball games away from 'home.'
On cold, snowy, wintry nights the
fans have to leave the campus to
see a basketball game. The players
never get a chance to practice on
this floor, making every game away
from home, which according to the
experts is an eight point disadvan-tage.
Also, the schedule has to be
at the convenience of the school
from which we are renting, not at
our most advantageous time."
"I think we can be justly proud
of our basketball teams after you
stop to think of the difficulty un-der
which they practice. After
school, hours of the gym must be
shared by three basketball teams,
intramurals, and girls activities,
When they do get to practice it is
done on a floor that is only sixty
feet long, as compared to the regu-lation
floor of 84 or 94 feet long.
The only reason that we can have
such a tournament as volleyball is
because the gym is not needed for
varsity practice. But this type of
participation should be made avail-able
to the entire student body the
whole school year."
With such a strong argument for
a new gym it is obvious there will
be one. The most Important factor
is the raising of necessary funds.
We North Parkers look forward to
the day when, as alumna we can
watch a game at "home."

Wes Johnson, known for his not
so quiet personality, has become a
definite part of North Park. Every-one
knows Wes, if not by his face
it is by his voice.
Wes does other things success-fully
besides talking. in basketball
he has left many fans spellbound
and wondering as he makes two
points with his famous long shot.
-Hairy" also has a very unorthodox
jump shot.
This will be Wes's fourth year of
basketball: two years with the
frosh-soph and two years as a
varsity hoopster. He now plays
guard but sometimes he is sta-tioned
at forward.
Participating also in frosh-soph
football, Wes has been playing
center and halfback. It can be
proved that "No. 5" is valuable to
the team as he always scores
around twenty points and his free-throw
accuracy is 61':, second best
on the squad.
Last year this popular athlete
found time also to participate in
the Jr.-Sr. Banquet committee and
then in addition he bought a

Vikings Jump
To Quick Lead
In Victory
Victory! Victory! That's our cry!
This favorite yell of the cheerlead-ers
finally had its fulfilling when
the Vikings found the winning trail
after a losing famine of seven
defeats in eluding three conference
games.
The vikings jumped to a quick
advantage and led 35-26 at the
half. But Harvard came storming
back to take the lead by the end
of the 3rd quarter 50-49. The last
period was so even that at the end
of regulation time the game was
tied 60-60. A three minute overtime
was then played in which the Vik-ings
were able to get 8 while Har-vard
only got 4. Chris Norborg hit
7 of the 8 points. The completed
count was 68-64.
Three of the boys scored in
double figures. Wes Johnson got 26,
C. Norborg 23, and Stan Moe con-nected
for 13. The victory was
mainly due to North Park's de-fensive
all-court press which be-fuddled
the Harvard boys. Paul
Flaherty and Wayne Palm played
their first came after a brief ab-sence
Time Conquers;
Basket Void
The talents engaged by the Acad-emy
frosh-soph in basket bal
matched those of Wheaton on Jan.
18, but luck wasn't with the Blue
and Gold. Loren Anderson pumped
in 14 points matching Wheaton's
high man and he would have had
16 points had the game ended a
second later. His shot was in the
air when the final horn blew and
as it swished through the hoop it
appeared the score had been tied
22 to 22. The referee said it didn't
count and the Vikings lost by two
points. Earlier Art Schuller had
twisted his ankle badly and was
excused from the game.
Frogs in Lead
As water polo continues to domi-nate
the Intramural winter scene,
competition seems to be increasing.
In last week's games the Frogs
under the captainship of Jack
Lundbom, trounced the Postscripts
and the Rockets 6-1, and 5-2, re-spectively.
In the game against the
Rockets John Hussey was high
scorer with a three point total.
Dennis Houlberg and his fellow
Postscripts drowned the Barnacles
4-1 and then were defeated by the
Helldivers in a close 2-1 game.
The games are held every Mon-day
and Wednesday afternoon at 4
o'clock and everyone is invited.

performer with the North Park
squad during his student days here
on this campus.
Victorious Again!
With Chris Norborg scoring 22
points for high scorer in the Pri-vate
School League on the night
of Jan. 18, the Vikings racked up a
second league win in a row as they
defeated their old arch-rivals,
Wheaton.
At times in the first half the
Blue and Gold was losing by 8 and
9 points, but managed to pull with-in
one point at intermission. At
the opening of the second half the
inspired North Park squad rallied
for 8 consecutive tallies before the
Wheatonites could score
Wes Johnson hit for 18 points
and never drew a foul. P Flaherty
and S. Moe showed ability as they
collected 10 points apiece. Free
throw accuracy for the team was
high as is evidenced by the .750
percentage.

Sin in the Psalms
Behold I was shapen in iniquity,
Against thee, thee only, have I sin-ned.
Salvation in the Psalms
But the salvation of the righteous
is of the Lord. . . . And the Lord
shall help them, and deliver them:
he shall deliver them from the
wicked, and save them, because
they trust in him. Salvation be-longeth
unto the Lord. . . 0 Lord
. . . thou that savest by the right
hand them which put their trust
in thee. We will rejoice in thy
salvation.
The Savior in the Psalms
They pierced my hands and my
feet. . . . They part my garments
among them and cast lots upon my
vesture. All they that see me laugh
me to scorn: they shoot out the lip.
they shake the bead, saying, He
trusted on the Lord that he would
deliver him: let him deliver him,
seeing he delighted in him. . . .
Yea, mine own familiar friend in
whom I trusted, which did eat of
my bread, hath lifted up his heel
against me.... Thou wilt not leave
my soul in the grave, neither wilt
thou suffer thine Holy One to see
corruption.
Dear Friends, I selected these few
verses from the Psalms to demon-strate
three important Scriptural
truths:
1. We all are sinners by nature
and choice.
2. God has provided salvation.
3. This salvation is in the person
of His Son, the Lord Jesus
Christ, who died on the cross
to save you and me from our
sins and rose again from the
grave.
I hope that you notice that the
only requirement for God's salva-tion
is faith in His Son. In the
second Psalm we read "Kiss the
Son. . . . Blessed are all they, that
put their trust in him." Will you?

Commission on Pastoral Training
Meets to Consider Applicants
The Covenant Commission on
Ministerial Training will meet for
the first of its two regular meet-ings
of 1957 on February 5. The
second meeting will be held here
on campus early in September.
In consideration of the sacred
significance of the ministerial call-ing
and the care needed in the
Dean Eric Hawkinson
selecting of candidates for the min-istry,
this commission, known as
the Covenant Commission on Min-isterial
Training, meets to examine
applicants for admission to North
Park Seminary.
Each applicant appears before
the Commission and gives a per-sonal
statement including autobi-ography,
spiritual experience, sense
of God's call, and personal motiva-tions
for entering the ministry. At
this time the members of the Com-mission
may ask questions of the
applicant.
Favorable action by the Commis-sion
concerning an applicant con-stitutes
a recommendation to the
Board of Education for admission
to North Park Seminary Unfavor-able
action means that the appli-cant
cannot be admitted as a
trainee for the ministry.
After action by the Commission,
the approved applicants are pre-sented
at a Seminary Convocation
with the members of the COITU1115-
sion, the Board of Education, and
the Seminary faculty in attend-ance.
This service of admission is
held on the first Sunday of the
new school year.
In addition to this function, the
Commission's duties also include
an oral examination of each candi-date
for graduation from the Sem-inary.
The Commission examines
the candidates with respect to
spiritual fitness and general quali-fications
for the Christian ministry.
Although the Seminary faculty re-tains
jurisdiction concerning aca-demic
graduation, the decisions of
the Commission shall determine
fitness for the Covenant ministry,
and therefore are recommended to
the Ministerial Board.
Members of the Commission are:
Theodore W. Anderson, President
of the Covenant; Clarence A. Nel-son,
President of North Park Col-lege
and Theological Seminary;
Eric G. Hawkinson, Dean of the
Theological Seminary; Joseph C.
Danielson, Secretary of Home Mis-sions;
Ralph P. Hanson. Secretary
of Foreign Missions.

Bethany Defeats
Sem Team 60-56
The Viking seminarians bowed in
defeat to a strong Bethany team
by a scant four poirns. The game
was tight all the way, and Bethany
had a struggle to gain the victory.
At the half the score was knotted
at 37-37. With 25 seconds left in
the game, Bethany leading 58-56, a
Viking tieing shot was missed and
two free throws for Bethany put
the game on ice 60-56. Jon Braun
was the leading scorer for North
Park with 21 points. The Vikings
were hampered by the loss of three
starting players who were unable
to play. The team, however, is be-ginning
to show signs of finding
itself, and should be breaking into
the win column very soon.

Vikings Down Rockford — Win Seven
On December 14, 1956, the North
Park Varsity basketball team had
Just lost their fourth game of the
season to a rough quintet from
Wright At the time they had won
only three games. Today January
250, just 42 days later, their record
stands at 10 wins as compared to
only 4 defeats They have won
seven in a row and have improved
their record from 3-4 to what it
now stands.
Tonight, the Vikings featured
another balanced scoring attack in
which five players scored in the
double figures They withstood a
last half rally from a very fine
Rockford team on the Roosevelt
High 8411001 floor, to come out on
top 86-80. Ted Molen and Dave
Norling turned in outstanding per-formances
as Molen cashed in on
18 free throws out of 19 attempts,
and this coupled with three baskets
gave him a total of 24 points. Nor-ling
turned in his usual sterling
performance as he hit six baskets
and four free throws for 16 points,
and played very superbly on de-fense

performance before fouling out in
the fourth quarter.
Phil Johnson bombed in seven
points in the initial period to lead
the Vikings to a 24-11 lead. Phil
rebounded well in the first half, as
he got 10. Molen took over from
there on in, hitting eight points
in the second quarter, and missing
his lone free throw in this stanza.
The score stood at coke-time 46-32,
and it looked as though the blue
and gold were going to pull away.
However they were outscored in
the final half 48-40, and Rockford
Navy Falls to North Park 80-53
Norling and Johnson Outstanding
The victim of North Park's sixth
victory in a row and their ninth
win against four defeats was, for
the second time in six days, the
Great Lakes Naval Hospital. In this
game, played in the Hospital's own
ward a week ago Tuesday, the Vik-ings
were in complete command
throughout the encounter as they
took a quick 14-2 lead and from
there on pulled away to an 80-53
win.
Phil Johnson paced all blue and
gold scoring with 19 points via
eight field goals and a trio of free
throws. llowever, Chuck Farley,
the human pogo stick, rang up 23
points for the good old Navy,
bringing his total against North
Park in two games to 56 points.
Roger Johnson put on a fine shoot-ing
exhibition, as he combined
five net-nestlers and five free
heaves for 15 markers. Ted Molen
played a fine floor game as well as
contributing 10 points to the cause.
Al Dewier came in in the final
quarter and banged in 10 points
to pace a 26 point fourth quarter
for the Vikings. Don Wicklund and
Bob Blomgren also blooped in
eight apiece. Also a big hunk of
credit goes to Dave Norling who
turned in a defensive gem by hold-ing
Farley down to 10 points
through the first three quarters
Phil Johnson hit 17 points in the
initial half, and Ted Molen and
Roger Johnson added 10 and 8
apiece to pace the Vikings to their
38-21 halftime lead. Al Depner
paced second half scorers with 10
points, Bob Blomgren flipped in
eight, and Rog Johnson connected
for seven, as the blue and gold out-put
on a late game surge which
saw them pull to within four points
of their eventual conquerers. Molen
hit 10 free throws in this half, and
14 points altogether to pace the
Vikings. Dave Norling set up bas-ket
after basket with his ball-han-dling
finesse and passing ability.
Vikings Win 10 of Last 12.;
Important Games in Future
The North Park basketball team,
now with ten victories in fourteen
starts, are picking up more steam
with each game. After dropping
their two games of the season, the
Vikings started a win skein which
has seen them winning ten of
their last twelve games. They are
currently riding the crest of a seven
game winning streak. Coming up
in the near future are games which
will have much bearing on the con-ference
standings for this year.
Coach Ted Hedstrand's boys are
currently running in fourth posi-tion
in the conference with a 2-2
record
Wilson will be the next opponent
of the blue and gold this coming
Friday at the Roosevelt gym, in
what should be the finest game of
the year. Wilson has won five of
six conference games and will un-doubtedly
be hard to stop. North
Park opened the season against
Wilson in a game which saw Wilson
come out on top 81-71. Carl May
paced Wilson's attack with 25
points, and three other members
scored high in the double figures.
Gerry Fross led North Park with
19 markers.
On February the fourth, also at
Roosevelt, the Vikings will tangle
with the Chicago Teachers. In their
last meeting, North Park emerged
victorious, by a score of 63-37. Phil
Johnson led North Park with 22
points, while Bob Levin paced the
professors with 18 tallies.
Joliet will be faced for the first
time this year on the seventh of
February. This is a conference game
which will be played on Joliet's
home court. Joliet has one of their
best teams in many years, but so
does North Park, and we look for
the Vikings to win.
Four days after the Joliet game
will be another conference game
with Morton. North Park beat Mor-ton
in their first outing in a very
exciting overtime victory 65-64. Phil
Johnson took scoring honors for
the Vikings with 19 points, while
Mike Fenelon led Morton with 18.
Morton is undefeated in conference
play, and North Park is one of the
few teams to have beaten Morton
this year.

North Park Whips Crane
88-68; Wicklund Stars
North Park, In winning their
fourth game in a row, downed a
supposedly rough Crane Junior
College team with a resounding 88-
68 thumping on Crane's own floor
on the sixteenth day of this month.
It was the Vikings' game all the
way, as they played heads up of-fense
and alert defense as they
won going away. Balanced scoring
paid off for the blue and gold, as
five players hit in the double fig-ures.
Don Wickland, 6'5" center,
led the way as he connected five
times from the field and then hit
eight free throws in eight attempts
for a total of 18 points. Phil John-son
also canned 18, as he hit seven
twine ticklers and a quartet of un-molested
heaves. Rog Johnson fol-lowed
with 14 points, and Dave
Norling and Ted Molen canned
10 apiece.
Phil Johnson and Don Wicklund
bombed in six points apiece in a
tight first quarter North Park held
a 12-3 lead at one time in this
stanza, but Crane splurged to knot
the score at 18-18 at the whistle.
Wickland put on a scoring show in
the second frame, as he tallied 10
markers to lead his group of in-spired
northmen to a 41-32 inter-mission
lead. Rog Johnson added
six points to the cause.
The second half saw North Park
outscore the home-team 47-36 to
win going away. Ted Molen and
Rog Johnson hit eight apiece to
lead the scoring in this half. Phil
Johnson contributed seven, and
Jerry Fross added six. Every player
to see action for Coach Ted Hed-strand,
figured in the box score.
High point honors went to a Mr.
Jones of Crane as he tallied 22
points.

Blue and Gold Trip
Great Lakes 79-64
North Park took its fifth win in a
row and its eighth victory against
four defeats, as they hung a 79-64
defeat around the necks of the
Great Lakes Naval Hospital, one
week ago Thursday on the the
Vikings' own field house floor.
Again it was balanced scoring
that paid off in victory for the
blue and gold. Only three players
scored in the double figures, but
all three of them hit twenty points
or better. Phil Johnson again took
scoring honors as he connected
eight times from the field and five
from the line for a total of twenty-one
points. Dave Norling put on an
exhibition of free throw shooting
as he canned 14 of them in 18 at-tempts.
He also added three cord-ripplers
for his twenty points. Also
figuring in the twenty point brack-et
was Don Wickland who hit his
twenty on seven buckets and six
gratis heaves. High point man in
the game was a kangaroo by the
name of Farley who hit 33 points
for Great Lakes, and literally threw
in everything but the kitchen sink.
North Park was in command
throughout the game, but at half-time
with the score standing at
39-35 in favor of the Vikings, the
outcome was a little undecided.
However the blue and gold out-scored
their opponents 40-29 in the
final spine-tingling half to win go-ing
away. Don Wicklund led the
Vikings throughout the initial half,
as he squished in 14 points. Norling
hit seven in this half, but went on
to lead second half scoring with 12
points. Phil Johnson followed Nor-ling
with eight in this stanza.
